Company Overview

Hartley Medical was founded in 1979 by Charles B. Stuart. In 1985, William Stuart introduced sterile compounding of high-quality pharmaceuticals for infusion therapy clients. In the ensuing years, we established ourselves as among the most successful and professionally distinguished pharmacies in the state of California and in the Western United States. We now serve hundreds of leading pain physicians and premier health care institutions across the nation with a 30+ year tradition of excellence.

William A. Stuart, RPh, The Heart Of Hartley Medical

With over 30 years of experience serving patients, clinics, and sub-acute hospitals, William is among the leading national experts in the field of intra-spinal therapies. Trained as a pharmacist at the University of Arizona, William spent the early part of his career as a specialist in parenteral therapy. In 1996, he observed significant deficiencies in the traditional treatment of pain management with oral medication. He was inspired to create truly unique "leading edge" pain management programs for the optimization of patient treatments. William has led Hartley from a western regional pharmacy covering seven states to a national pharmacy.

"Mr. Stuart’s pharmacy [Hartley Medical] has given me excellent service and timing. I have had occasions where we would require medication the next day. I would find it delivered to my door even though I am in Northern California. In addition, they have been more than willing to retest medications to assure that when a problem arises, it is not drug related. It never has been."

"It is my pleasure to recommend Hartley Medical to any practice that requires outstanding performance in the areas relevant to the goal of providing optimal personalized care for patients."

~ Joshua P. Prager, MD - Los Angeles, CA

"Thank you so much for all that you did to get the syringe to us for our pump implant this morning. They are just finishing and all went well. He is a 60-year-old with metastatic renal cancer who has been suffering. I just want to let you know that your efforts are so appreciated and you made a difference in this patient’s care today. Thank you."

"We frequently consult William regarding drug applications and dosing because of his judgment, accurate mathematical calculations, and extensive knowledge."

~ J. Jones, MD - Stockton, CA

"I like the access to a pharmacist who can answer my questions at any time. That is the reason I changed providers."

~ Pain Clinic - Phoenix, AZ

"The blog and newsletter articles are fun, interesting, and informational. They help me understand the work Hartley advocates and stands for. Thank you Hartley Medical and Mr. Stuart for all your great work!"
